This panel, established under the Single Resolution Mechanism Regulation (SRMR), is tasked with deciding on appeals against certain SRB decisions.
Its role is essential for upholding the fairness, transparency, and accountability of the SRB's decision-making processes, thereby reinforcing confidence in the resolution framework.
The Alternate member will be appointed for a five-year term, with the possibility of one renewal, and will replace full members in cases of unavailability or conflicts of interest, or fill vacancies.

Candidates for the Alternate member position must possess a proven record of relevant knowledge and professional experience.
This includes expertise in banking or other financial services, specifically with resolution experience.
Furthermore, a strong understanding of EU legislation and procedures is a mandatory requirement.
A very good command of English is also essential for effective participation.
Applications must be submitted by March 1, 2026. Full details regarding eligibility criteria, selection requirements, and the application procedure are available on the SRB website and in the Official Journal.
Reinforcing oversight, a routine step
This call for an Appeal Panel member underscores the SRB's continuous commitment to robust governance and independent oversight.
While a standard procedural step for institutional continuity, it reinforces the critical checks and balances within the Single Resolution Mechanism.
For market participants, it signals the ongoing operational maturity of the resolution framework.
